Battery Drain on 'CRD9 Oreo

[m2geek]

Hey guys,

Just had this wicked battery drain start in the last few days. Not sure what has triggered it - but it seems to be the "Android System" process doing it I believe.

My phone used to last easily two-three days on one charge, now it's lasting 1 day with minimal screen on time.
I've done all the usual fault finding stuff like turning off bluetooth, GPS, got rid of some possible suspect apps etc but no dice so far. Didn't find much via searching and googling - is very hit 'n miss.


Any advice? I'm currently backing up my phone getting ready to factory reset it. It hasn't been wiped/reset since I got it when we were still on 7.1.1.

Only advice, factory reset, a good price after a major software update !
And in my opinion it's pointless to start new threads about battery drain, there are already 2 million out there. Probably everything has been said there, you can't get any new advices.

Yea I had figured as much hence getting ready to do just that haha.

Fairly frustrating, it's been so well behaved until recently.

same happened to me, please do this before the factory reset.
1. Settings/apps/three upper right dots/clear preferences
2. reboot

after that all your apps will delete all permissions and you battery will back to normal, you wont lose any data.

One thing, my launcher was the main battery drain app, I used Evie Launcher, after deleted all back to normal. Hope it helps.
